Rascals! Dangerously close to my house, we ended up here for dinner. I was slightly disappointed to find out that they would not accept my restaurant.com coupon any longer. But we were already there, it seemed a shame not to stop in and eat.
Our server was incredibly helpful with the menu which I must say I only understood half of it's contents. She explained foreign concepts to us like kreplach, rugelach, knishes etc.
I was greeted with a bowl of house made kosher pickles and tomatoes. MMM! Don't be fooled these were 1 - 2 inch chunks. Very large pickles.
These were the corned beef/potato knishes. They were delicious. Doughy yet flaky pastry with yummy potato/corned beef. Hearty little meaty potatoey biscuits.
Here's Pat's turkey and corned beef on challah bread. On the side you get 2 delicious latkes (potato pancakes) with house made cinnamon applesauce for dipping. The bread was great and soft, the meat is almost too good to be true. Possibly the best corned beef ever. The latkes and the cinnamon applesauce go together very well.
I had the Reuben. If you know anything about me, you know I love a good Reuben. I've even had Reuben soup. This was the best Reuben I've ever had. Seriously. I loved that the sauerkraut wasn't too pungent and tangy, it was mild and tender. The Swiss cheese was buttery and velvety. The corned beef I can't say enough about, delicious, tender, flavorful. Just top notch all the way.
Pat had a side of a cheese blintz. It wasn't too sweet, not too savory and served with tasty sour cream.
I had a side of the cucumber salad which was great. Don't let the onion and garlic fool you, it was delicately sweet with vinegar and sugar. Reminds me of the cucumber summer salads we would make from our garden. What a great thing to eat in the summer.
Here are Pat's rugelach which are apparently little croissant type dessert rolls with a sweet filling. He had some chocolate, some apricot filled. He really liked them.
And here you have the world's largest eclair. Very tasty, rich, decadent and as big my 7 year-old friend Lilly's shoe. Seriously.
Here's a picture of it next to the salt shaker for scale.
Why yes doctor, I am following my diet to the letter. This will probably be my lap-band "before" picture.
